💗 OUT OF OFFICE 💗

We are delighted to announce the arrival of our little girl.

After nearly a week in hospital, we are home and lapping up everything this new journey has to offer.

For now, I am out of office, but will soon be ready to pick up where we left off.

See you soon ✌🏼

DAILY GRATITUDE

A little update for you all - I’m in the last couple of weeks of my pregnancy! I am still available and responding to messages and will be continuing with clients post-birth.

I wanted to share a little story with you all - my partner and I are always very grateful for the things we have, but don’t often speak about what gratitude we experience on a daily or weekly basis. It’s something I suggest to my life-coaching clients all the time … but I haven’t been following my own advice! So, over the last few months, Bert and I have been asking one another over dinner or in bed, what we have been grateful for on that day. It has to be different from the day before, and can be anything (often for me at the moment it’s good related…). It was particularly poignant after an unexpected hospital trip for precautionary reasons, and really cemented why gratitude practice and reflection is so important. It really has made us connect even more during the last trimester of pregnancy, and means we often go to sleep with positive and calm thoughts.

SO! Today, I wanted to let you all know that I am grateful for you. I am grateful for my health, and I am grateful for life.

Share with me your gratitude; I always love to hear others positive thoughts.

Tips for those wanting to practice daily gratitude; try journaling or writing in a notepad once a day, or asking friends and family over dinner what they are grateful for. See how quickly it can become a daily habit!

After setting up Journey Onward in 2021, I was keen to get to begin building my coaching profile, gain clients and testimonials. Reviews are a really important part of advertising a business and proving it's success stories, and really helps get a new, small business off the ground. During the pandemic I was working full time in the NHS, and saw the affect COVID-19 was having on my colleagues, both physically and mentally....

So yes, it's been a while again! My life has been a whirlwind for the last 12 months and it's been a juggling act trying to keep things going. If you know me well, you'll know I can't juggle... A fundamental part of Life Coaching is focused around 'core values'. If you're new to this concept, a brief insight is that core values are aspects of your life that are most important to you....

HONEST POST- THIS IS ME

A few years ago, I was different. I looked pretty much the same, but I was low. I wasn’t rock bottom by any means, but I was down. I didn’t realise it at the time, and I don’t know if anyone else would have realised either.

I constantly relied on others to validate me; I was flitting from one date to the next in order to feel justified, to feel pretty, to feel desired, to feel good. I know others reading this right now can resonate with this; the positive feelings when you have the attention, but they quickly disappear when the phone isn’t buzzing with messages … the lows are hard, especially with online dating.

I spent a lot of my time out of the house - I worked overtime constantly and spent the rest of my time at my local pub. I often wouldn’t even drink - I just craved the buzz of conversation to keep my mind ticking over.

I was surrounded by good friends, loving family, but also found my circle poisoned by negative people, who’d often drag me down into their low energy.

Fast forward - THIS is the Jess that was lying beneath. I’ve made so many changes in my life - and my perspective has completely changed. I look back at pictures and even notice the change in my smile.

I love life. I am seizing my best years. My best body. My best moments. I’m grabbing opportunities and stepping OUT of my comfort zone.

If you’d have told Jess 3 years ago to do a photo shoot like this, she’d refuse. This was me last week, loving every moment of showing off my skills.

Thank you for getting such great shots. Thank you for always making me feel like a queen.

LIFE COACH POST - HOW I COPE WITH A TRIGGERING DAY

Every year for my mothers birthday, we would go to the races. Mum, my dad, and me; our little family. Her favourite race day, at usually fell ON her birthday, or a couple days before/after. It was always a beautiful day - fun, wholesome, and nearly always beautiful weather.

After she passed away, I dreaded her birthday coming around. Not just her birthday I guess, but every anniversary. Of course, this is really common for people suffering with grief.

A few months after Mum passed away, we had the Salisbury Racecourse correspondence posted through our letterbox. Dad and I looked at each other, unsure whether it was the right thing to do, to ‘carry on’ the tradition, without Mum.

Today was our 3rd Race Day without Mum (would have been 4th but, global pandemic and all…). It’s a few days before her birthday this year, but we still toast her. I try to pick horses that Mum would like, or the names that remind me of her. My favourite today was Forest Demon, reminding me of her smashing around the New Forest on her ponies when she was young, with her sister . We reminisced about this today; so special.

How do I cope with triggering days? It’s hard. But I find it so important to make the most of special days, making special memories, and loving special people.

I will always miss my Mum at the races, but I’ll be damn sure to go every year I can, and make a day that would otherwise be empty and sad, a celebration of my Ma. I am grateful that her memory lives on, and she is responsible for showing me a flipping good time.

Give your loved ones a hoorah, and remember them with a smile. X

Love you, Mum. Happy Birthday.

How do YOU cope with days that are triggering?

PS - here’s a pic of me and my race day get up. 👗
